Unless they have added it hoping there will be one

Perhaps they've put it in the wrong section of "included already" rather than "wanted" groups?

Don't forget the Jonathan Strange category to ensure that the indispensable wisdom and experience of Jonathan Strange is represented. Only one candidate need apply.....

I genuinely think that's a tough t hing - how could any one person "represent" the hugely diverse range of views on here without being seen as ignoring/not representing many Sky Blues Talk members?

My view is that this is a forum in its own right and doesn't need to be represented in this City Fans Forum; anyone on here will probably be represented in one of the other categories anyway.

Maybe, but never hurts to have someone else attend these things.

Unless they are 30 years old, no reps for those.

I suppose we could have someone attending and reporting back, provided they did not purport to speak for the wider Sky Blues Talk membership and any views they did express were stated solely in a personal capacity.

TBF being a rep isn't about having the same views it's about understanding and putting across the concerns of all your constituents. I'd argue a free and open forum like this one, if correctly collated and moderated, would be far more democratic and representative than any selection of members someone is likely to meet in public. Doesnt mean other reps couldn't comb SBT or actively solicit opinions from their target groups, but I can see the value of someone dedicated to the job.

That's about right.

I think it's more collecting issues or suggestions and then putting them forward and then reporting them back.

It's a shame the timing of them as that's not ideal at half five.

"I'd argue a free and open forum like this one "

@Nick You smell of cabbage and suck Joys toes for fun. Sisu are c*nts.

(I meant as in anyone can join, but this place is very reasonably moderated as well)

Edit: has the word filter been taken off?
